The Economics of CANCER

You might be thinking that you cannot afford cancer insurance, but you can and there are ways to “get your money’s worth” from your policy as well. The most important thing you can do is to get your annual screenings, as the wellness benefit pays you the cost of the tests, up to $200 each, for mammograms and pap tests. There are also other tests that and screenings that will pay you up to $100 as well. This in itself greatly lowers your out-of-pocket expenses. For example, with the Individual Premier Plan from Allstate, at age 40, costs just $369 a year. So, as a woman, if you get a mammogram and a pap test, your policy’s premiums for the year are already covered!

Can you grow your own cancer fighting foods? Before you read any further you need to know that I am not a cancer expert but merely a gardener but from what I read you can grow your own foods which are supposed to help in the fight against cancer. However, I need to caution you with something that happened to an Aunt of mine. She was diagnosed with cancer in her liver and after seeing a few specialists she and her husband were so enthusiastic about how they were going to beat this disease with eating certain foods it was enlightening. It did not work in her case but that does not mean it cannot work in other people and in other circumstances.
